New Books.
Histories of America are numerous some aim
ing to cover the entire field. while others con-
fine themselves to particular portions.
These works. of course, vary in char
acter, in merit and style. A judicious
collection of striking and meritorious
passages from the different works and authors
could hardly fail TO be interesting. Such is the
scope of a work entitled Half Hours with
American History" edited by Charles A Morris,

before Columbus, followed by the era of discov-

Healthful Cooking.

Many persons suppose that hygienic
cookery takes no account of "of things
that taste we'll" This is decided
mistake. 1t is of piece with the
idea that a pious church member is
a prisoner to solemnity, and can
not look cheerful. Hygienic cookery
may be defined rs the science OF MAX
ing every dish so sweet and appetizing
that chemical sauces need not be en-
ployed to give them flavor. It is es-
sential that every article of food pre-
pared in this manner shall be of the
choicest and best. Sound potatoes
roasted in their jackets, are preferable
to unsound potatoes, fried in lard or
butter. Are they not? Roasting Is
hygienic, 1t preserves the potato in
purity, and makes it a delicate morsel
even for an epicure. A baked apple is
wholesome, An apple fritter is not.
because it is Drowned in grease. Hy-
gienic cookery requires that apples
shall have no decay in them; it requires
that the cores shall be carefully re-
moved; and it requires that the stones
or seeds. shall be removed from rails
ins. Take a prime piece of fish and
cook it by steam. and it will be found
so delicious that it would be spoiled in
flavor by even suggestion Of chemi-
cal sauce. High flavoring enables un-.
principlcd hotel and restaurant keep
ers to serve impure food which, If
cooked according to hygienic rules,
would be readily detected. A bad oys-
ter may be concealed in fried butter.

Ae0uitfal of Frank Mead,

which were taken i'll endeavors to get
jury. The state was represented by Attor-
ney General Clapp and District Attorney
Eagan. Gov. Davis and w. w. Irwin were
the counsel for Mead.
The testimony for the defence was unex-
pectedly strong, especially in regard to
provocations and also as raising a reason
able doubt whether the trigger OF the fatal
pistol was really pulled by Mead, both hav-
ing hold OF the weapon at the same time
during the melee.
But four ballots were taken by the jury.
On the formal ballot the verdict was ten
for acquittal one for manslaughter and
one for murder in the first degree. The
two succeeding ballots two votes were for
a verdict OF manslaughter, but on the
fourth and final ballot twelve votes were
cast for acquittal. Mr.. Mead positively
declined to be interviewed or express any
opinion as to the trail or it's result.

Experiments with the Voice.

1t has long been known that the in
halation of various volatile substances
is capable of producing certain modifi-
cations in the human voice, and of late
years attempts, more or less legitimate
in their application, have been made to
give this knowledge a practical form.
An interesting series of experiments
bearing on this subject have lately been
made before the Societe Medicale du
Pantheon by DR.. Sandras, in which, by
means of different inhalations, varying
from one to twelve, he produced mark
ed variations in the intensity, tone and
timbre of the voice. He could not only
confer upon the persons so treated the
peculiar voice of the confirmed ine-
briate, but what is more to the point,
he could-temporarily, at any rate
remove it when present The notes
produced by the same larnyx were made
of high or low pitch at will. and the
range of the voice could be notably in
creased, while harshness or sweetness
could be made to alternate. The SUBJ
stances employed for this purpose are
not new; it is only ther application
which may be said to be novel, Tar
water, alcohol, ethe~. and various es-
sential oils constitute the battery for
inhalation purposes. The most curious
part of the experiment is the accuracy
with which certain well-defned effects
are said to be obtained. Thus, q GER
tain number of inhalatlons of one kind
will diminish the compass by so many
notes, while another will confer an ad-
ditional eight or ten; some even limit
the range to five or six notes. BY COM
bining a selection of the agents accu-
rately graduated results may, we are
told, be obtained at will. There is am
pie scope for research in this direction,
and really reliable information on the
subject will not only insure profession
al honors, but also professional success
to the fortunate discoverer. An intirm-
itv of voice, whether congenital or ac-
quired, is scarcely less distressing than
one affecting the anatomical disposition
of the limbs, and would certainly be
subjected to treatment with the same
eagerness. We are only waiting for
further and trustworthy details on this
interesting question to suggest that IA
cilties be offered to the various catego-
ries of people to whom we are indebted
for the wonderful varieties of street
cries, which. if curious, are not always
harmonious. The costermongers suf-
